Marlow,
April 23, 1817.
Mr. Shelley requests Messrs. Ollier will have the goodness to send the books and the little pictures as soon as they can.
In great haste,
Bagni di Lucca,
June 28, 1818.
Dear Sir,—I write simply to request you to pay ten pounds on my account to a person who will call on you, and on no account to mention my name. If you have no money of mine still pay it at all events and cash the enclosed at the bank.
Ever most truly yours,
P. B. Shelley.
The person will bring a note without date signed A. B.
It is of so great consequence that this note should be paid that I hope if there is any mistake with Brookes you will pay it for me, and if you have none of mine in your hands, that you will rely on my sending it you by return of Post.
[Postmark] F. P. O., Se[p.] 1, 1818.
Dear Sir,—Oblige me by honouring a draft of £20 that will be presented to you signed A. B. If there should be any mistake with the bankers it shall be rectified by return of Post, but I earnestly intreat you to pay the draft.
Of course these letters are put to my account.
